Background: HIV-related stigma has been noted as a significant barrier to test acceptance in many contexts. Previous studies identified an individual’s confidence in their ability to cope with HIV infection, including the social consequence of potential stigma as important to the testing decision. HIV coping self-efficacy may increase opportunities to address the impact of HIV-related stigma on testing through interventions at the individual level. This study aimed to examine the effect of self-efficacy on voluntary counseling and testing of HIV in homosexual. Subjects and Method: This was meta-analysis and systematic review. Articles were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, and Research Gate databases. Keywords used “Health belief model” OR “HBM” OR “Self efficacy” AND “VCT HIV” OR “HIV counseling” AND “Homosexual” OR “Gay” OR “MSM”. The inclusion criteria were full text, published articles from 2011 to 2020, and using cross-sectional study design. The articles were selected using PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed from Rebman 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis from 6 studies showed that strong self-efficacy improved VCT uptake in homosexual (aOR= 1.10; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.14; p<0.001) with I2=54%. Conclusion: Strong self-efficacy improves VCT uptake in homosexual. Keywords: self-efficacy, voluntary counseling and testing, HIV, homosexual Correspondence: Yuli Astuti.

Background: Pregnant women are at increased risk of HIV acquisition, whose rapid diagnosis not only saves the lives of the mother and fetus and prevents the infection of the husband, but also prevents the transmission of the virus to other people in the community. Objectives: In this line, this study aimed to assess pregnant women’s knowledge and beliefs in Birjand about voluntary HIV counseling and testing based on health belief model constructs. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 238 pregnant women referring to Birjand comprehensive health centers (CHC) in 2018 are studied. Participants were selected using multi-stage random sampling. First, Birjand was divided into four districts as north, south, east, and west. Then, one health center and one CHC were selected from each district. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of demographic information, knowledge, model constructs, and behavior, whose validity and reliability were determined. Data were analyzed using SPSS19 and independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. Results: The mean age of participants was 28.3 + 5.1 years. Mean score of knowledge, susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers and perceived self-efficacy were 5.9 + 3.6, 8.9 + 2.21, 23.7 + 4.7, 34.7 + 4.2, 28.2 + 5.9, and 24.5 + 7.3 respectively and behavior was determined to be 5%. Knowledge was evaluated to be poor in 1.7%, moderate in 51.7%, and good in 46.6%. There was a significant negative relationship between barriers and all model constructs (P < 0.05) and a significant positive relationship between knowledge with perceived susceptibility (r = 0.15) and guidance for action (r = 0.2), susceptibility with perceived severity (r = 0.23). Conclusions: This study showed the insufficiency of pregnant women’s knowledge about the importance of HIV screening. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Health Belief model in CHC to improve the knowledge, attitude, and practice of this target group.
